We've had lots of threads about favorite gemstones. But how about discussing what doesn't seem to work for you and maybe why.
I can't seem to get into rose quartz no matter what I do. It just hangs there like a big "blah" for me. Apatite is also pretty iffy for me. So I just have to figure I'm not meant for the "pretty" pastel stones. I do fine with clear quartz and even very light citrine, though. I can only figure I'm too big and noisy to work really effectively with those more subtle stones. I limit my use of these colors to readings for clients who like the softer shades.
Among my least fav stones are malacite and turquoise, both found in cooper ores. And turquoise is my birthstone, but yuck!! I love the colors of these stones but they practically make me itch. I'm not all that fond of lapis either.
If there is a trend here, let me know.
